GOLLAPSIBLE PIPE.

Application filed October 22 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAM Mosns, a citi-i zen of the United States, residing at Balti more, in the county of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collapsible Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in smoking pipes, and particularly to that type which is made collapsible or knock-down for the purpose of carrying the same in a substantially flat package, which may be comfortably carried in a mans pocket, and; also to facilitate the cleaning of the pipe.

The principal object of this invention is to provide a simple and durable construction which will permit the pipe bowl to be separated vertically into a number of parts, whereby the bowl may be conveniently and readily cleansed of all impurities, which may become lodged therein during the use and operation of the pipe.

Another feature of my invention resides in the telescopic pipe stem which permits the pipe to be carried in a comparatively short case.

With these and other objects in view my invention is described in the following specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawings:Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of my improved pipe. Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section and showing the stem in telescoped position. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the pipe bowl taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1, the telescoping inner lining of the pipe being omitted. Fig. 4 is a top plan View partly in section of a substantially flat pipe case, showing my pipe arranged therein in separated or collapsed position, the parts of the plpe being shown partly in dotted and partly in full lines. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the telescoping inner lining.

In the drawings 1 designates my improved pipe bowl and 2 the stem for the same.

The bowl 1 is preferably constructed of four vertical sections or segments 3, each of which forms one quarter of the bowl. Each section of the bowl is provided on one of its vertical edges with a tongue 4 for insertion in a groove 5 of an adjacent section, and each section is also provided on Patented Jan. 28, 1915.

, 1914. Serial No. 868,014.

' its lower extremity with a vertical screw- The bowl 1 after it has been assembled is "screwed lnto a screw-threaded aperture 10 in the stem 2 to form the complete pipe. The stem 2 consists of a portion 11, having an elongated opening 12 in which a rubber bit 13 is adapted to be stored when the pipe is not in use. When the stem is extended the rear end of the bit tightly engages the tapered inner wall of a collar 14: which forms a part of the stem 2, and the pipe is then ready for use. lVhen the pipe is not in use it may be compactly and conveniently carried in a small substantially flat case 15 as shown in Fig. i, which will fit comfortably in a small pocket.

It will be seen from the foregoing that I have devised a pipe of novel construction, which will permit the same to be carried in a case, within the users pocket without bulging the wearing apparel and causing an unsightly appearance. Also when the pipe is collapsed it may be thoroughly and easily cleaned.

The inner lining shown in Fig. 5, is made up of a series of separate rings or sections which are removable and made to conform to the inner shape of the bowl, said rings or sections being adapted to fit the inner configuration of the pipe bowl and are telescopic and separable and fit one within another.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a smoking pipe, a bowl separable vertically into sections, each section pro- I arable vertically into four sections, each of which is provided with a screw threaded extension, and a stem into which said screw threaded extensions are inserted and secured.

8. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl separable vertically into a plurality of sections, each of said sections being provided on one of its vertical edges with a tongue and on its other vertical edge with a groove, and being provided on their lower extremities with a screw-threaded extension and a stem into which said screw-threaded portions are screwed.

4. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl separable vertically into a plurality of sections, each of which is provided with a vertical screw threaded extension, a sliding locking ring encircling said bowl, and a stem into which said screw threaded extensions are inserted and secured.

5. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl separable vertically into a plurality of sections, a collapsible telescoping lining provided in said bowl, and a stem to which said bowl is connected.

6. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl and a stem, and a collapsible telescoping lining provided in said bowl.

7. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl separable vertically into a plurality of sections, each of which is provided with a vertical screw-threaded extension, a lining consisting of a plurality of collapsible telescoping rings provided in said bowl, a sliding locking ring encircling said bowl, and a stem into which the screw threaded extensions of the bowl sections are inserted and secured.

8. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl separable vertically into a plurality of sections, and a stem to which said bowl is secured, said stem consisting of two parts, one of which slides within the other part.

9. In a smokers pipe having a bowl and stem, said bowl having a removable collapsible inner lining.

10. In a smokers pipe provided with a stem and bowl, said bowl having a removable telescoping inner lining conforming to the inner configuration of the bowl.

11. An inner lining for a smokers pipe bowl comprising a number of rings or sections telescoping with one another and each ring or section adapted to be removed from said pipe bowl.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ABRAM MOSES.
